- Abstract
-
"While crossing a ford the horse of a man with a lady seated behind him rears and snorts and prepares to gallop after the hunt: huntsmen follow a pack in full cry on the opposite hill (r.). The lady is very fat and wears a light, loose dress with a cloak and a feathered hat. She falls backwards, kicking the man in the back and clutching his hatf, has dropped the reins, his whip flies over his head and his hat falls off, and he is about to fall back on tne falling lady whose bared thigh he gashes with his spur. Frogs in the water look up in astonishment."--British Museum online catalogue
